CLRP provides high quality legal services to low income persons with mental health conditions living in Connecticut, primarily on matters related to their treatment and civil rights.
One of CLRP's most important goals is to empower people with psychiatric and other labels by increasing their own ability to influence the decision-making processes that, to a large extent, control their lives.
CLRP is a non-profit Connecticut corporation with its principal place of business in Middletown. It is governed by a Board of Directors which meets on a quarterly basis.
The Executive Director of CLRP is hired by the Board of Directors and has full responsibility, both fiscal and administrative, for running the Project, hiring/firing staff, and entering into contracts on behalf of CLRP.
In addition to the Executive Director (who is an attorney), CLRP's staff includes a Legal Director, Business Manager, staff attorneys, paralegals, Operations Coordinator and Operations Assistants/Screener.
Most of the advocacy staff spend substantial time at state-operated (DMHAS) psychiatric hospitals. CLRP may also represent individuals residing in the community on issues related to conservatorship, housing discrimination or eviction (except in non-payment of rent cases).
